This piece has a very sad story to it, German bombers attacked the city of Guernica, for more than three hours they dropped 100,000 pounds of explosives on the little city and on top of that fighter planes killed anyone they saw. the city then burned for three days. this historic piece really moved me, you can just see the the pain and anguish in this piece. normally whenever i see a picasso piece i have no idea in the slightest what is going on, but when i saw this one i felt the sad emotion of the city overwhlem me. it's almost like some one took a picture of the chaos and this is what the picture would look like, freezing the chaos for all to see and understand.
